On January 11, Central Huron Secondary School (CHSS) hosted its Semi-Annual Co-op Supervisors Hot Breakfast Buffet and Tech Open House. Breakfast was served starting at 7 a.m., with the co-op presentations starting at 8 a.m.

“We have lots of students from Clinton and Clinton businesses that have taken our co-op students this year, so we feel it is important to recognize them,” says Shane Taylor, Department Head of Co-op, Cope and Business at CHSS.

“We do this co-op appreciation twice a year; once each semester. We really like to have it and we do think it’s important to publicly thank all the local businesses that took the time and effort to take a co-op student this semester. Without them, there wouldn’t be a place for our students to go.”

Taylor adds that especially in a small-town community he thinks it is important for that connection to be made. “It takes a village to raise a kid, so it’s really nice when you’ve got a ton of supervisors that are willing to take their time and expertise and pass that on to our students and help them with their next step in their post-secondary career.”

For some students, says Taylor, this invaluable experience will help them build their resume or portfolio and may even help them land their first job. “So, we think it’s very important to continue to have the [supervisors] come in for a hot buffet breakfast and we can show them our appreciation.”
